Crab Salad with Wonton Crisps

Crab Salad with Wonton Crisps

The weather here just started to change a bit. It looks like this week the temperature will be in the eighties, it’s hard to believe… I know. Starting this week I will try to post a few more salads. I have a huge list of salads that I always wanted to make. We had this salad today and it was very refreshing. I’m so glad I tried a salad instead of just making crab cakes like I always do. Try this one… I think we will really enjoy it.
